Low fidelity or '''lo-fi''' describes a Sound Recording which contains accidental artifacts, like Distortion , or environmental noise, or a recording which has a limited Frequency response. This stands in contrast to High Fidelity or "hi-fi". In Digital Audio lo-fi usually refers to an audio file with a lower Bit Rate , and thus a lower sound quality. In some cases high fidelity recording is avoided, or the artifacts are deliberately retained or added to all or part of the recording for artistic reasons. This decision is usually made by the Record Producer . Some argue certain unique aural qualities are available only with "low-tech" recording means. Examples of lo-fi-type sounds include recordings of Vinyl crackles on Compact Disc s, as on Portishead 's album '' Dummy '', and telephonic vocals on Craig David 's track "Fill Me In" (though these two are not regarded as "lo-fi" bands). LO-FI WEBSITE/OR WEBPAGE/OR FORUM A "Lo-fi" website (Low Fidelity) can also be a website with very simple architecture. In general, it is a copy of the main website and often designed for people who have an old computer with/or a slower Internet connection (notably 56K connections). Users can often access the main website from a link at the bottom of the page. |
